Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes: Small, waxy potatoes work best for texture.

Garlic Oil Mixture

  • 4 cloves garlic: Minced, to infuse flavor.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil: Adds richness and helps achieve crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon salt: Enhances overall flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper: Adds a hint of spice.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme: For an earthy aroma.

Additional

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese: For a savory, cheesy crust.
  • Fresh parsley: Chopped, for garnish.

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Place baby potatoes in a pot, cover with water, add salt, and boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) for optimal crispiness.
  3. Drain and Smash: Drain the potatoes, let them cool slightly, and smash each one on a lined baking sheet to about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Oil: Mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl. Drizzle over the smashed potatoes.
  5. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese generously over the potatoes.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can customize the seasoning by adding your favorite herbs or spices.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the potatoes for a few minutes after baking.
